It's been a while since we revisited how dental problems can impact your immune system and overall health. It's something that most people don't think about especially if they have no acute symptoms or pain. Some of you have learned over the years how much mercury from fillings or hidden bacterial infections from abscesses or cavitations can affect you. It's all about timing and connecting the dots.While volunteering at a homeless shelter in 2014 in Providence, she met Dr. Jeanne Arthur the only biological dentist in RI.  Dr. Arthur inspired her to look at dentistry differently, connecting the dots and finding the root cause of the problem. Now, as a dedicated biological dentist with 25+ years of experience, Dr. Castillo certainly knows a thing or two about transforming patients’ lives for the better!  She loves being able to work closely with individuals on their dental health, their OVERALL health, and the critical connection between mouth and body that influences both. She works with other holistic specialists in the area to get to the root cause.We discussed:

What biological/holistic dentistry is
Mercury Fillings and their effects on Human Health
The September 2020 article that hit the news - FDA advise against Mercury Fillings
Technology in Dentistry (CBCT, Digital Xray, Digital Scan, Pain Relief, Red Light Therapy)


Dr. Castillo received her dental doctorate at Boston University. Since then, she has completed several Fellowships with the Academy of General Dentistry and the International Dental Implant Association. She completed The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) post-master program at Boston University. She additionally has her Biological Certification through the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine and her SMART Certification through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. To this day, she continues to pursue new educational opportunities through prestigious organizations like the Dawson Academy and Spear Education.If you would like to work with Dr. Castillo, her website is www.smileri.com, and find her on Facebook: The Aesthetic Dental Studio of RI and Instagram: @aestheticdentalstudioriEnjoy this episode!
